The whole time your foot is in there do the alphabet, it will not only distract you but it will get the blood flowing which will flush out the fluid, it also circulates the cold water so body heat doesn't warm the water right around you. Repeat after a half hour break if it's really bad. Few nights of that along with plenty of Motrin and you will be good to go, I usually take 2-3 times the regualr dose for an injury. Surgical tubing if you have access to it is also great for doing light resistence work to ease you back.
